April Goth, by Rev. Chas. j. Adams, of ST..
Johns church, Mr.. 7. F. Callahan, jr., Of
Wichita, and Miss Rena G Burwell, of Bluff
ton, Ind. The high contracting parties are
both favorably known in the city. Mr.. Cal
lahan, the well-known salesman at Alexandra
Steele & Sons; Miss Burwell as a very
charming and entertaining young lady who
has been one of the most successful teachers
of the public schools. Very sly they were
in slipping off with the popular rector Of st.
Johns church to Winfield and there unknown
to most of their friends take the solemn obi
cations that make them husband and wife,
Still they have forgiven them and all join
in wishing the happy couple a long and hap
py married life. They are now making a
bridal tour in the east and will upon their

WHO Is SHE?

The girl who arrived in the city few days
ago in scar Oh of relatives does not seem to
have made much progress in either idsnti-
flying herself or friends. She says she came
from Nebraska and made the journey to this
city on visit to her cousins, two of them she
says, whose names are Charles and John
Pastier. People of this or similar name
she does not know how it is spelled-are
living near Garden Plain. She has too,
some difficulty about making out her own
name or in fact in throwing much light upon
herself or history. She was still at the jail

BOOMING.

Sheriff Hays is now entertaining at his
hotel in the public square fifty-eight guests.
The number will soon be decreased by a del
egatlon which will be sent to the pen
Some of the prisoners booked for the pen
are industrious in their efforts to effect an
escape. Some Of their pals on the outside
seem also to be interested in getting some
scheme to work that will work a release.
One Of the prisoners has been very unfortu-
nate with his letters and in a late epistle
threatens to inform on some of his false
friends if they don't help him out. 1t is hop
ed that be may be induced to give up some of
his information which will doubtless be of
service in running some more birds to the

EVANGELIsTIC MEETINGS.

Elder L. j Rousseau, of Topeka. is in the
city arranging for a series of meetings,
which he expects to hold in company with
other laborers.
A large tabernacle is already erected and
seated at the corner of Emporia avenue and
Lincoln street, where the meetings will be-
gin this evening promptly at s o'clock. The
elder proposes to give the grest lines of
prophecy found in the books of Daniel and
the Revelation special consideration during
these meetings, thus giving the people Of
Wichita an excellent opportunity to hear on
these important subjects.
As the place Of meetings is located on the
Main street car line, large attendance may
be expected.
All are cordially invited.

A BIG SCHEME ON DECK.

s0There has been little dearth in sensa-
tional business items here of Late" said a
gentleman yesterday who keeps both eyes on
the town daily. 'There is always big rain
after dry spell and a storm, You know,
after a calm, and might say an outbreak
of big schemes after few days quiet. The
latent forces are getting in their work these
days, nomatter how piercing the rays of the
sun. The people of Wichita can't be COM
PEELED to halt or scarcely decrease their speed
in fitting up big business enterprises, by the
hot weather. It is true, however, that
sometimes we think people hesitate to run to
and fro on the hot streets, but somehow
about as many as usual are seen there and the
sidewalks amt any more OF pleasure re-
sort than they used to be. This
feature of the city catches every
man who comes here. He can't
see how the people here rush along a mile
a minute in the hot months as though it was
the inviting month of October. The phe-
nomenon causes them to conclude that there
must be something more than the usual re
ward for labor That business is better then
at other places and Wichita amt dead by a
good deal. Of course we get used to this
racket and hurrah and go along with it and
don't get tired, scarcely ever think about
resting"
snow then as to this development business
you just keep an eye pealed for something
big to drop in few days. It's no common
thing. No depot scheme, motor line scheme,
college scheme. No, nothing of that size;
something infinitely greater and more at
tractive to the business men of
the city. 1t will make the aver
age business man and average Wichitan
rejoice and be exceedingly glad whenever he
becomes apprised of it."
"When will the big scheme to which you
refer, be ripper was asked.
ooh, well now that depends on a great
many things. There are many men con-
cerned, much money involved, and as Kos
Harris says, large bodies move slowly it
may take some time before this thing is
ready to cut. Some of the leading business
men in the city held meeting last night On
it. This morning few of
them met in certain bank
in this city, and there will be meeting
tonight which Will be attended by not less
than dozen of the leading men in the city"
This to which 1 refer is new scheme. No
one has yet gone east on this but they may
be compelled to before it goes through.
That little thing those fellows have gone
down east about don't amount to a clay
bank by the side of this. Just keep quiet,
lay low and don't get excited and boomer
will boom.n

INCREASING CAPACITY.

Adjoining the building of the Appleton
Planning Mill company on the south the COM
pany has erected frame building which
serves as q department for material The
main building has front of seventy-ive
feet, one hundred deep and two stories high.
The increase in business of the firm made it
necessary to provide more room Almost
every week tier force is being increased.
The orders from the city are increasing, of
course, and much beyond what the company
anticipated. The orders from the surround
ing country are coming in, which is quite
gratifying to the company.
